Schweizerischer Bund f&uuml;r alkoholfreie Jugendwanderungen&ldquo;. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wandervogel">Wandervogel</a> is the name adopted by a popular movement of German youth groups from 1896 onward. The name can be translated as rambling, hiking, or wandering bird (differing in meaning from "Zugvogel" or migratory bird) and the ethos was to shake off the restrictions of society and get back to nature and freedom.<br /><br />The photo collection is <a href="http://www.bild-video-ton.ch/bestand/signatur/F_5000">one (call number&nbsp;F_5000)</a> of <a href="http://www.bild-video-ton.ch">three Wandervogel image collections</a> in the holding of the <a href="https://www.sozialarchiv.ch/en/">Swiss Social Archives</a> (German: <a href="https://www.sozialarchiv.ch/">Schweizerisches Sozialarchiv</a>, French: <a href="https://www.sozialarchiv.ch/fr/">Archives Sociales Suisse)</a> in Zurich, a historical archive, academic library, collection of documentation and research facility specialising in social issues and social movements.

They were taken around the period from 1882 to 1966. The Kreis II had its administrative center in Lucerne and was one out of three major regions in which the Swiss railway network was divided from 1923 to 1998 (from 1902 to 1923 there used to be five regions).<br /><br />As the middle one of the three areas the region covered the region around Basel, the Mittelland region, the Lake Lucerne Region, the Emmental, the eastern Bernese Oberland and all of Ticino. In the 19th century this area was largely operated by the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_Central_Railway">Schweizerische Centralbahn</a>, the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gotthardbahn-Gesellschaft">Gotthard Railway</a> and the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jura%E2%80%93Simplon_Railway">Jura-Simplon Railway.</a> Some of the bridges depicted date back to the time of the private railway companies.<br /><br />Most of these photographs have been preserved in the form of paper prints and have been digitized in 2012.
